Fight Unwarranted Surveillance!

Bill C-74, the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act, would have allowed law enforcement agencies to obtain identifying information about you without a warrant. Even worse, it would have forced communications providers to build surveillance back-doors into the hardware that routes our phone calls, Internet traffic, and more. Tell the new Parliament not to erode your privacy - sign our petition today!

WE THE UNDERSIGNED DECLARE:

1. There should be no increase in state surveillance without full justification, including clear evidence of the need for such new capacities and powers and of their likely effectiveness;

2. The private sector should not be conscripted as agents of the state for law enforcement purposes;

3. Searches and surveillance should require a warrant, and exceptions to this rule must be narrowly limited, subject to strict conditions and safeguards, and should not be expanded to subscriber data;

4. All state search and surveillance activity should be subject to rigorous oversight by an independent body to guard against police abuse of these intrusive powers.
